We help people with a learning disability to live their lives as they choose.

Story

1. Why does Mencap need its very own Santa?

Ho, ho, ho. Mencap needs a Santa and more importantly me as Santa because I'm a thoroughly modern Santa. I cook my own Christmas packed lunch, clean out the Reindeer stables and even polish the sleigh's bonnet. I do all this to make sure Mrs Claus can put up her feet nice and early - you could call me a 'Metro Santa'. Why does this matter to Mencap? Well Mencap is becoming more modern and changing its brand so who better to have spreading joy and happiness but a modern Santa.

2. What special qualities do you have that would make you the perfect Santa for 2007?

I wear sunglasses in the dead of winter in lapland - need I say more.

I also have the fundamental qualities required such as a large belly - I've been cultivating it for several months especially - and a love for mince pies.

3. Santa is responsible for the magic and spirit of Christmas. If you could grant the Mencap community one wish, what would it be?

I would wish that Mencap could raise more awareness amongst the public about learning disability because so few people know what it means.

I am only one of a number of  Santa ‘Wannabees’. If you would like to see who my competitors are this year you can visit their links below. But please PLEASE don’t vote for them, VOTE FOR ME – after all, you don’t want to risk being put you onto my ‘naughty children’ list do you?!
